In the wake of the killing of Iranian Quds Force General Qasem Soleimani, the sheer number of lefty voices hoarsely defending the brute is astounding. Responsible for the deaths of hundreds of Americans, thousands of others, and hated by Iraqi and Iranian citizens, Soleimani is no one’s candidate for man of the year.
𝐓𝐚𝐲𝐥𝐨𝐫 𝐃𝐚𝐲 @TABYTCHI Pay attention to who gets upset when a terrorist leader is killed.
47 10:54 AM - Jan 3, 2020 Twitter Ads info and privacy 23 people are talking about this CD Media’s own Taylor Day cuts to the chase. Listen to American liberals screech. So much nonsense has spewed from the mouths of politicians and the corrupt media in the past 24 hours, it’s hard to keep up. Let’s look at the flat-out lies first.
Party-line Reactions Nancy Pelosi has demanded Congressional pre-approval for war with Iran for a long time. Here she is in May, and again in June, culminating in a vote calling for express consent to declare war. However, as the Intercept reported, “The bill contains an exception for emergency situations in which U.S. armed forces are under attack.” It’s a moot point–the bill never stood a chance of passing the Senate–but the provision is worth noting, as our forces were under just such duress.
Never mind that we have forces on the ground already. Never mind that we have been attacked by Iranian forces repeatedly. Pelosi wants right of refusal on individual strikes.
Carlos Osweda @COsweda · 10h Replying to @COsweda and 2 others The Democratic impeachment of Trump began with a predetermined outcome and did not follow any House rules or procedures.
And now Pelosi is refusing to to give the articles of impeachment to the Senate.
The House is as lawless as Obama.
Carlos Osweda @COsweda The War Powers Resolution of 1973 requires that the president notify Congress 48 hours before committing armed forces to military action.
Clearly our forces have already been committed to military action.
Pelosi says Congress must be notified before each strike.
311 2:15 PM - Jan 3, 2020 Twitter Ads info and privacy 128 people are talking about this Most other Dem poster children followed suit–AOC, Ilhan Omar, Adam Schiff, etc.–their standard line a variation of: Soleimani did some bad things, but we can’t assassinate someone and risk World War III. Which is of course hyperbole. What the Trump administration pulled off yesterday was not an act of war, but of retribution. Standing by while Americans are attacked is not leadership, it’s an invitation to further attacks.
In fact, in the primitive eye-for-an-eye mentality of extremist Islam, what Trump did was the only logical response. Anything less would have smacked of Obama’s windswept lines in the desert sand.
What’s more, Trump did notify Congress–the right ones, anyway. Lindsey Graham knew–and the plan wasn’t leaked. Leaky Democrat Party leaders have earned their limited rights: national secrets must stay national secrets. When personages like John Kerry (not in office, but still a DNC hitter) have secret meetings with Iranians over the course of several years, meetings which Defense Secretary Mike Pompeo went out of his way to call “very, very inappropriate,” a discrete problem exists.
Kerry claimed to have been engaged in the extra-governmental talks to “salvage” the ridiculously lax Iran nuclear deal, or JPCOA, an Obama legacy cake-topper that allowed Iran up to a year between inspections–inspections to which Iran had refused compliance as recently as 2017. It was a stupid deal made by a cunning man. Obama had a stake in Iran gaining a seat at the nuclear table, and Kerry was his intermediary.
Joe Biden, for his part, has famously opposed virtually any action to thwart known terrorists. He was against the bin Laden raid, stating, “Mr. President [Obama], don’t go.” Chum in the presidential debate waters, should Quid Pro Joe make it that far.
So why is Democratic leadership–the same crew involved in the plunder of Ukraine (Biden/Pelosi, Kerry) so shamelessly loyal to Iran? Why do they look the other way on terrorism? I suspect Attorney General Bill Barr is increasingly curious about this unfolding matter as well.
The Corrupt Press Does Its Scraping Duty And the press, surely they didn’t take sides, but clearly reported the facts? Ha! Today, New York Times reporter Farnaz Fassihi praised Soleimani as a friend and a poet…
Farnaz Fassihi ✔ @farnazfassihi Rare personal video of Gen. Suleimani reciting poetry shared by a source in #Iran. About friends departing & him being left behind.#قاسم_سليماني
Embedded video 1,284 2:19 AM - Jan 3, 2020 Twitter Ads info and privacy 2,945 people are talking about this …and then had the gall to tweet about unconfirmed rumors based on a Telegram feed. Not exactly the finest hour for the disgraced Gray Lady. Hundreds of her followers apparently believed the report that missiles had hit an Iraq-based U.S. military facility. She didn’t bother to correct or delete the erroneous tweet.
https://twitter.com/farnazfassihi/status/1213166276752879616 Updated: You can see by the red text and formatting that she finally deleted the tweet…7 hours later. Other outlets piled on, with CNN “reporting” that President Trump ate ice cream during the attack on Soleimani. Quite the, er, scoop, CNN. There was no confirmation of the number of scoops the president consumed......
I never thought I’d say this. An fully appropriate use of the phrase “Boom!” My compliments!
If Trump had told Pelosi, it would have been on CNN before the drone left the ground. Soleimani would be hiding safely in a bunker. We know from experience that Democrats can’t be trusted with national secrets.
Appoint a Special Counsel to find out if any Democrats have ties to America!
Would love to hear president Trump say “Can you imagine? Can you imagine that people in our country, in our own government, would defend a terrorist by suggesting that we shouldn’t have taken him out? After he murdered 500 of our brave men and women in the military? What kind of sick person would even dare suggest that he shouldn’t have been taken out? You gotta ask yourself, Which country these people on the left support? America? Or terrorist nations? After listening to them today, I think the answer is clear!”
like someone said on another site- the dems would probably like to fly the flags at 1/2 mast in honor of their fallen brethren solomeni or whatever his name was-
And Trump should say something like that along the lines of “Well nancy- When prove can to me that you are trustworthy, then we’ll talk- until then, We can’t trust you and your ilk to keep secrets when it comes to taking out terrorists, and we can’t risk your ilk leaking it to the press so that the terrorists can advance notice and can get away- “
If I were Trump, I would feed her some false but seemingly sensitive information detailing an imminent strike, and see how fast it takes her to inform the press. After it splashes all the headlines, expose her as a spy and revoke any security clearances she may have.
PL-107 says he doesn’t have to notify congress. and it passed in 2001 and is still active law.
As article states ‘the sheer number of lefty voices hoarsely defending the brute is astounding’.....
Once again these traitors “strut their evil before you”....
The President is trying to protect the citizens and Pelosi is complaining about what? She does not have enough power?
That has already happened. Operation was underway, but got cancelled. News reports were : “Trump dithered and waffled, changed mind.”
Yeah right PDJT will get right on that as soon as you call back the thousands of airstrikes that your halfrican Obama laid down during his term(s).
LOL!!!
Well played.
Post of the year.........beautiful.
No, the president is required to notify Congress WITHIN 48 hours of committing armed forces to military action.
Good catch.
“The War Powers Resolution requires the President to notify Congress within 48 hours of committing armed forces to military action and forbids armed forces from remaining for more than 60 days, with a further 30-day withdrawal period, without a Congressional authorization for use of military force (AUMF) or a ...”
-From lefty Wiki itself
“Pelosi says Congress must be notified before each strike.“
Pelosi is a liar.
